There Is No Afterlife

Avery walked towards the fighting ring step by step.

At this moment, at least three quarters of the audience's eyes were on him.

He was quite tall in the first place—many people who knew him couldn't help but think so.This is not to blame for other people, Avery is used to walking with his head down, and his back is a bit hunched, so it is no wonder that everyone always thinks he is quite short.

"Very weak." "Poor grades." "Get up the earliest every day, and have been practicing basic movements."——This is the only knowledge Di Zong's classmates have of him.

They didn't understand why Chairman Mu Gen sent such a person to take part in the competition instead of him. Everyone was a little bit guilty, but they chose to trust Mu Gen.

The commander-in-chief must have his reasons for doing things, and they must trust Mu Gen's decision.

"Come on, Avery!" I don't know who took the lead to shout, and then there was a neat voice of cheers for Avery from the Imperial College.

The sound of cheering reached Avery's ears, and he froze. The soldier's standing posture cultivated in several months of military training was not enough to defeat the walking posture formed in more than ten years. Only then did he realize that he had forgotten to use the correct posture again. way to walk.

Wave after wave of cheering came from behind, and Avery stood blankly for a while.

"I've never been willful."

"Because no one has ever allowed me to be willful."

"However, here, everyone gave me a chance to be willful."

"I want to be worthy of their tolerance."

You can't embarrass Chairman Mugen who sent you on the field!Can't embarrass the classmates who cheered for themselves!You can't embarrass the academy!

"Impossible" appeared overwhelmingly in Avery's mind one by one. He stared at his toes for the last time. His back that was originally bent slowly straightened up, and Avery raised his head sharply.

With a firm gaze ahead, Avery finally straightened his back. Every step was a foot and a half away. The steps learned in the military training rolled in his mind. Opposite Wen.

After he stood still, the portal in front of him opened immediately, and a black mecha rose from the ground. Seeing the appearance of this mecha, the scene was in an uproar!

And for one reason: this mech is just too funny!The overly thick shoulder blades make it look like a person carrying a heavy turtle shell. Because it looks so bulky, many people doubt whether he can move.

There was another whisper in the auditorium:

"I feel as though I've seen him..."

"I also feel as if I have seen..."

"It seems to be very weak."

……

It turned out that, like Aiwen in "The Executioner", Avery's mecha was also well-known among the freshmen, but the reputation was miserable: almost everyone had won such a tortoise-like mecha.

"Very weak." "Only one move." "Good at taking hits."——This is the common evaluation in the minds of all those who have fought against this mech.

Since the game ended, the system would only announce the name of the winner, so no one had heard of the name of the operator of this mech.

"His shell is bigger than when I played against him..."

Amidst all the discussions in the audience, the mecha driven by the funny and unknown Avery confronted the mecha driven by Aiwen——

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Avery awkwardly put on a confronting posture. This is the first time he has piloted a mecha in a real environment. Although this mecha is almost exactly the same as the one in the virtual environment, Avery still has some maladjustment. , because the upper body was too heavy, his body was even crooked, and he managed not to fall.

"Clean up this shameful guy, Ivan!" Dean Komlo, who was sitting in the stands, looked calm on the surface, but the blue veins on the back of his hand accidentally revealed his true thoughts.

As if hearing his inner voice, Ai Wen suddenly started to run. His movements were so fast that the audience in the outfield hadn't seen what he was doing. In the next second, the head of the turtle shell mecha clicked. Landed!

Clean cuts!Perfect decapitation!

one second!Only one second!Di Zong's new guy broke the record again, and he only lasted a second under the executioner's knife? !

This, this... Has the Imperial College given up struggling?

There was an uproar!

Not only did the audience fail to react, it seemed that... even the turtle shell mecha whose head had fallen off didn't react, he was holding his head in a daze, uh... so it wasn't that he didn't react, he knew how to hug himself anyway head, but...

It seems to be of no use at all? !

"What can you do? Go back to your kitchen! Avery, this dangerous place is not where you should come—" Looking coldly at the funny black mecha in front of him, Ivan narrowed his eyes and said It was the first sentence he uttered after entering the mech.Impatient to continue playing with Avery, he quickly launched a second attack.

Three-stage advance!The crescent knife on the right!This time, Aiwen aimed at the chest of the "turtle shell" - that is the core part of the mecha. Once it is fatally hit, the referee will immediately make an out judgment!

Thinking in his heart, Aiwen sent a precise blow to the right chest of the turtle shell mech!

"Boom!" With a loud blunt sound, Ivan quickly landed from the air after hitting the target, and his eyes fell on the referee outside the field. Ivan waited for the moment when the referee announced the result of the game.

"Perfect block! The attack is invalid—" the referee did speak, but what he said was this sentence...

Aiwen opened his eyes slightly, and he turned his head to look at the black mech behind him——

The thick right arm blocked his chest, and Avery's mech was unharmed!

The temperature in his eyes dropped again. Before Avery retracted his arm, Aiwen launched an attack again. This time his target was the abdomen of the opponent's mecha. This is the energy cabin. Once he hits it, the opponent will definitely be defeated!

There was another dull "boom--", this time Aiwen never left his sight, so he saw this incredible scene as a matter of course: the mechanical arm sank at an extremely fast speed, and Ai Li actually blocked it again. Own attack!

"Perfect block! The attack is invalid!" The referee's voice immediately reached the ears of everyone in the field.

"My God!"

"Second time! This is the second time!"

"It's a perfect block! The attack is actually invalid!"

Discussions from the students came again from the auditorium in the outfield.

It's not that none of the three students who played before blocked Aiwen's attack, but at best they were just ordinary blocks.

Speaking of this, we must popularize the concept of "blocking". On the field, if someone attacks, someone must defend. The defender makes an action to resist the opponent's attack. This action is called "blocking".If the damage of the block is less than 20% of the total attack power, it will be judged as "block failure" or "invalid block"; if the block damage is between 20% and 60%, it is called "normal block" ; If the blocking damage is between 60% and 90%, it can be called "effective blocking".

And what is the concept of perfect parry?A block that can resist more than 90% of the enemy's attacks and cause the opponent to cause little damage to itself is eligible to be called a "perfect block"!

If the referee not only said the words "perfect block" but also the word "attack invalid" when making the judgment, the amount of information contained in this judgment would be even greater!

One hundred percent absolute defense!

This is the hidden meaning of the verdict!

"Perfect block? The attack is invalid? This is the first time I heard this judgment in the arena today~" Hearing the verdict, Marshal Rothsay turned his attention from other arenas with great interest.

Nowadays, the level of these freshmen is basically the same. Even if there are particularly outstanding students, for these high-ranking military officials who are used to seeing the best mech fighters, no matter how good the freshmen are, they are still freshmen. Flower fist embroidered legs.

In the midst of judgments of "block" and "block failed", when an occasional "effective block" was enough to make people turn their eyes away, suddenly there was a sound of "perfect block! The attack is invalid! ", how can this not be eye-catching?

In normal times, Dean Komlo would like others to notice his son, but definitely not now, who told him not to let people notice that another son is also on the field?

"That... the tortoise shell looks pretty solid." Marshal Rothsay chuckled.

It's over!The person he least wanted to be seen was still seen - Dean Comlo's face was as dark as the bottom of a burnt pot.

"However, that child from Di Zong is very powerful! He can react so quickly without the sensory system. His reaction is very fast." With his head dropped, the freshmen only saw Ai Wen's swiftness, but General Condon saw Ai Li's strength.

"Under this situation, he can still do a perfect block. This kid is really smart~ Is he a top student of Dizong?" General Condon also turned his attention to Avery.Realizing that his boss was interested in this player, his adjutant hurriedly pulled out all of Avery's information.The result surprised everyone——

1029 games, 1 win, ranked last in the entire theater, and still stays in the novice competition!

"Is this... a joke?" General Condon was stunned.

Dean Comlo felt like he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in!

He was about to go crazy in his heart. He kept praying in his heart, hoping that the youngest son would expel the unworthy eldest son from the stage, but God didn't listen to him at all.

The incredible scene in the arena continued.

"Perfect block! The attack is invalid!"

"Perfect block! The attack is invalid!"

"Perfect block! The attack is invalid!"

No matter how sharp the executioner's butcher's knife is, the big tortoise shell will not move.

No matter which tricky angle the butcher's knife swung at, the turtle shell mech could always resist it. After a long time, anyone with eyes noticed: "It used one move from the beginning to the end..."

"The first move of the first set of standard martial arts."

"Defensive."

Everyone finally noticed this: all the attacks were blocked by the same move!And it's not a sophisticated move, it's the first set of standard fighting techniques that everyone has learned... the first move!

"Is the defensive style so powerful?" Recalling the defensive style they had learned, the freshmen confirmed it in their hearts.

"Oh! What a perfect defensive posture. I haven't seen such a correct posture for many years..." General Condon narrowed his eyes.

"However, is he only capable of this trick?"

"Yes, this kid only knows this move." It was Dean Ord who answered him: "Sacrificing his own sleep time and spending hours more training every day than other freshmen, this freshman only practices this move. "

Although he didn't participate in the military training affairs, Dean Ord obviously knew his students very well. He even knew the training situation of such a humble Avery.

He must know that Avery is his son to pay attention to him like this—Dean Comlow thought with a dark face.

"Only defensive. No matter how perfect the defense is, it will be broken sooner or later. In the duels so far, he has only won one by chance."

However, the person he won was Mugen, the most powerful freshman in the Imperial Comprehensive Academy's mecha—this sentence, Ord did not say it.

"For this kid, this is the biggest achievement of his military training, and he is now showing you his most important learning achievements."

"Please take a good look and see the result of this child's hard work."

Everyone was silent, including Dean Comlo, and everyone's eyes fell on the black mecha that was constantly being beaten in the field.

In the face of the enemy's flexible attack, he has only one trick from beginning to end: block.

However, with this move, the executioner, who has always been known for quickly disposing of the enemy, had nothing to do with him. As time went by, they came and went in a stalemate for four hours!

As calm as Ivan, he was also a little anxious.

This level of competition can be called unilateral abuse.Aiwen doesn't like to bully his opponents, which can be seen from the fact that he always likes to kill with one blow, not to mention——

The person who was hit by him at this time was Avery.

The elder brother of his mother.

Let's end it quickly-tightening his lips, Ivan swung a fatal blow hard.

"Perfect block!" The referee's voice came again. Hearing the first half of the sentence, Ai Wen became even more anxious, but——

"The attack works."

Ai Wen was stunned, and looked down at Ai Li on the ground. The blocking posture was still perfect, but the metal on the arm of the mecha was cracked.

"Boom——" a huge piece of metal fell off, and with that crack as the center, dense cracks appeared on Avery's turtle shell.It's not just Avery's mecha, Aiwen noticed that with Avery's mecha as the center of the circle, cracks appeared on the ground where he was standing.

Ai Wen suddenly understood.

"Avery, admit defeat, your mech is about to disintegrate."

Standing condescendingly in front of the black mecha, and finding that the other party ignored him completely, Ai Wen raised the corner of his mouth, and he waved the butcher knife in his hand.

Just one swipe--

As his arm swung down rapidly, Aiwen's sharp claws drew a snow-white crescent moon in the air.

Avery didn't hear what Ai Wen said to himself.

From a long time ago, he could no longer hear any sound from the outside world. In his eyes, there was no second figure except the blue mecha that was constantly attacking him.

The constant blocking action consumes a lot of energy, and his physical strength has reached its limit.

Kneeling deep on the ground, if he didn't, he would definitely fall to the ground.However, even so, his parrying action is still flawless. An action, when you repeat it over and over again every day, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of times, it will become part of your reflex arc.No matter what angle someone attacks from, his body will instinctively make a perfect block.

No one knows that Avery is now on the verge of running out of lamp oil.

However, the more this happened, the more perfect his movements became.

Train with excellent people, and you will become even better, and Ivan is much better than others.

Doing boring repetitive exercises every day, what Avery needs is actual combat opportunities, more opportunities to fight with better teammates.Now, Ivan gave him this opportunity.

"After the defensive style, it only needs an elbow. As long as the angle, strength and position are correct, no one can escape this blow, and they will fly out with a sound of Piu..." Chairman Mu Gen's words reappeared in the Ellie's mind.

He is not surprised.

Whenever he is extremely tired, his eyes are blank, and he is about to collapse, this sentence will always appear in his mind.The actions that Chairman Mugen showed in front of him at that time will also appear very clearly in front of his eyes.If I can do it, if I can make that set of movements, and imagine the enemy Piu flying away, Avery will cheer up immediately.

It's not that he hasn't practiced the following movements, but his reaction is too slow, his body is always in disobedience, and he can't get a good coherence.

"...As long as the angle, strength and position are correct..." Avery couldn't understand the points mentioned by Chairman Mugen at all.

However, when Ai Wen hit him with the knife, Ai Li was suddenly enlightened.

In an instant, when the blade was more than ten centimeters away from him, his body suddenly bounced up, his knee twisted, and his body changed into a very strange state in a very short time!

The elbow, which has always been used only to block the chest as a defense, completed a strange angle, and the elbow made of hard alloy was impressively facing the direction of the enemy.

This is an attacking posture - Avery, who has always been only defensive, realized it instantly.

It's now!

"After the defensive move, just an elbow..."

"No one can escape this blow!"

Piu… with a sound.

Aiwen's mech flew out instantly, and then——

The head of that mech was wrenched off by his own elbow! ! !

Accompanied by the sound of "Boom--", the executioner's head rolled into the dust, and his body was farther away, fragmented.

The mecha with the thick tortoise shell on its back became the only mecha standing in the arena.

The metal layer on his body was broken and fell off with a rustle, but even so, he still didn't fall down.

Victory is decided——

"Kelton Military Academy vs Imperial Comprehensive Academy, the fourth round is over, the winner: Imperial Comprehensive Academy."

No applause!No cheers!There is no sound!Everyone present was stunned by the scene that just happened!

After a long silence, someone finally shouted loudly:

"Akimota's Hanging! My God! It's Akimota's Hanging!"
